Improving Memory with Cogmed Training

Working Chiropractic Care is your temporary workspace in the brain that lets you hold and process information and plan ahead in tasks like following directions, reading, or completing maths. It is crucial for children to learn, but it is also critical in adulthood and professional settings for challenges like planning, focusing, resisting distractions, and meeting deadlines.

Many individuals with attention issues, including those diagnosed with ADHD, traumatic brain injury, cancer, or post-traumatic stress disorder experience improvement by training their working memory. Research shows that when you train your working memory, it improves your ability to focus and pay attention and helps you self-manage. This leads to a variety of follow-on benefits in school and at work.

How qEEG Brain Mapping Works: A Beginner’s Guide

Cogmed is an empirically-supported cognitive training program with extensive, placebo controlled clinical studies published in leading neuropsychology journals. This translates to a high success rate with the program, especially in comparison to other interventions in this area. Mary-Ellen is a certified Cogmed coach and offers this training through her private practice.

Individuals undergoing Cogmed training participate in 30 sessions of a computerized and standardized adaptive WM training program (Cogmed). Each session starts at the difficulty level that was last used by the participant; as a result, it is individualized to each individual. Compared to controls, Cogmed participants show an increase in WM composite Z-scores. Additionally, a statistically significant correlation was found between post-training WM performance and deactivation in the right superior parietal lobe, which is part of the WM processing network.
